Does anyone know the correct offset and the measurement of the bolt pattern for an 87 Wedge? 5 X 108mm ?

Are you sure on the 112 measurement? I have never seen that size.

I've seen Mercedes mentioned as a possible size match.
Might be worth checking out.

A bit more numerous than European MK2 Ford Granadas, no doubt.

There are numerous vehciles with a stud pattern of 5*112 i.e. granada, many mercedes, some audi's but the the problem is the relatively low offset of 23. This makes 99.9% of OE alloys with this stud pattern usuitable as the alloy would foul.
I finally found a set of Borbets of a Granada, the only problem being they where a bit chewed round the edges !

The wheel measurements can often be found on the wheel itself if you want to check. Finding wheels with the right offset can be difficult, I found a company in the UK selling a German range of wheels (ATS DTC Competition) which they machine to the correct offset and centre bore.

The centre bore is something else you need to get right too as this locates the wheel on the hub. The Ford Granada hubs on the wedge are 63.3mm iirc, Mercedes wheels (which are 5x112) have a 66.6mm centre bore for instance.

It is possible to buy adaptors/spacers or I suppose you could have some made, I have had various responses as to whether this is a good idea or not though. Anybody else want to comment on this?
